After a heart-stopping first half, the Merseyside Derby between Everton and Liverpool fizzled out in the second-half and it’s fair to say Twitter got a fair work out with little happening on the pitch.
Simon Mingolet produced a dazzling first half performance to keep Everton at bay, producing two excellent saves before Danny Ings put Liverpool ahead with his a debut Merseyside Derby goal.
Romelu Lukaku almost immediately equalised for the Toffees after a calamitous clearence from Emre Can, who inadvertently provided the perfect the assist for the Belgian.
From then on, perhaps the most exciting aspect of the match was waiting for a head-to-head between Mamadou Sakho and Romelu Lukaku. How about those eyes!
Here is how Twitter reacted:

Sakho genuinely looks like he’s going to murder someone – would certainly liven this game up #EVELIV — 888sport (@888sport) October 4, 2015

Some more shots of that battle between Sakho and Lukaku.
You’d be a brave man to bet on who would win a fight between the two…
